Open Beta Policy

Gig Grid is currently in Open Beta. Beta participants help us improve the product before its general release, and the mandatory checkbox on the signup form is your explicit, informed consent to participate under the terms below.

This policy is in addition to, and operates alongside, our standard Privacy Policy. When the product leaves Open Beta, this document will be retired or replaced.

What changes during beta

By accepting this policy, you agree to session replay: PostHog (our analytics provider, hosted in the EU) records your interactions inside Gig Grid as anonymised mouse movements, clicks, page transitions, and scroll positions. This recording exists so we can debug issues and understand how features are used in practice.

What we record:

• The DOM structure of pages you visit, with all <input> and <textarea> values masked at capture time — your passwords, feedback text, gear names, and any other typed input never leave your browser as readable content.
• Specific surfaces (your /account page, the password-reset flow, admin feedback views) are excluded entirely from session replay via our PostHog dashboard URL blocklist.
• Mouse position, click targets, scroll, page navigation timing.

What we do NOT record:

• Your camera, microphone, or any device sensor.
• Content you type into form fields (masked, see above).
• Network traffic to or from other websites.
• Audio.

Retention

Session recordings are kept in PostHog for the duration of their default retention period. We don't make copies outside PostHog.

Anonymous browsing

People who browse Gig Grid without signing up are notsession-recorded — only basic anonymous analytics (pageviews, click events) under GDPR "legitimate interest". The notice banner on first visit covers that processing.

Withdrawing consent

During Open Beta, the way to withdraw your consent is to delete your account. Deletion removes your profile and stops further session recording immediately. Recordings already captured will age out according to PostHog's retention policy; we don't retrieve and re-delete historical recordings on request unless you specifically email privacy@giggrid.net to request a sweep.

When Gig Grid exits Open Beta, we'll offer a dedicated opt-out toggle in your account settings so deletion is no longer required to stop recording.

Why we collect this

Beta-stage products move fast and break in unexpected ways. Watching how real users actually navigate the rig editor lets us spot confusing flows, broken interactions, and edge cases that automated testing can't catch. The recording is product-improvement telemetry — never marketing, never sold to anyone.
